Wishing everyone a happy & holy Easter Sunday.

A brilliant end of term celebration assembly with an Easter egg raffle for the Good Shepherd Appeal & our excellence awards 👏🏻

Reception are enjoying some busy learning in the sunshine. Their favourite topic this week has been shops! They have particularly enjoyed setting up an ice cream shop, designing and creating their own delightful ice creams to sell.

Year 4 are currently building torches for DT. Here we have some budding engineers at work and the first team to complete the project and meet the design criteria. Great teamwork!

Year 1 are linking DT with Holy Week. We made some sliding mechanisms.

Year 1 have been learning about First Aid in our PSHE lessons.

Year 1 visited the prayer garden today.

A lovely Mass led by our brilliant School Council in Holy Week.

Year 5 have been investigating types of bridges in DT and have made some brilliant wooden truss bridges today!

Reception have been learning about the importance of Easter Sunday by creating some beautiful artwork in R.E.

Y3 are loving bench ball this afternoon and showing great teamwork!

An unlucky defeat against Newlaithes tonight but a great team effort!

Year 2 visited the Year 1 Toy Museum to learn about old toys. The museum staff were amazing.

Year 3 acted out some first aid scenarios in RSE. We learnt the importance of keeping calm, having quick reactions and how they can help in an emergency.

During today’s Hockey session, Year 4 used the variety of different technical skills we have worked on throughout the term and applied them to small sided games.

Year 6 really enjoyed their Easter workshop - it was lovely to have so many parents attend.

Reception have been using their maths skills outside this week. We have been learning how to play dominoes, used our subitising eyes during hopscotch and worked as a team to complete various piece jigsaws. We have also been estimating how far our cars will travel down the ramps.

Thank you to all the parents and carers who came to Year 5’s Easter workshop. Some children led a reverent Celebration of the Word beforehand. It has been a lovely way to end the week!

A great celebration assembly this morning!

Year 1 are learning about toys from the past.
